Press Release, April 3, 2018

Family Medicine Centers of South Carolina, LLC, a group of primary care physicians operating from 5 locations
in the Columbia area, recently announced that it will close all locations on or about May 31, 2018.

“We regret after 38 years serving our patients in the greater Columbia area, that FMC will close its doors
on or about May 31 due to financial reasons,” said Dr. Peter J. Stahl, FMC co-founder and President. “Patient
care is of paramount concern to the staff at FMC and we are ensuring an orderly transition of patients and
medical records.”

According to Stahl, most of FMC’s physicians and their nurse practitioner intend to continue practicing in
the greater Columbia area. As information regarding their new locations is confirmed, it will be made available
on the practice’s website at www.FMCOFSC.com. FMC plans to retain
administrative staff after May 31 to assist patients with transition issues, including maintaining the website, processing
medical record requests, and winding down its business affairs.

“Every patient seen in the last two years has been sent a letter informing them of the practice's closure.
We are committed to providing continuity of care for our patients,” said Stahl. “We are also committed to
taking care of our valued employees by providing them with various resources that will assist them in
pursuing other opportunities.”
